Five months, an Olympic Torch and a New Wardrobe!

So, here I am again after almost five months of no posts! We moved in and got settled, had a visit from Gran and Grandpa, had Thanksgiving dinner at Mom's, Trick-or-treated through the new neighborhood, spent Christmas with Jennifer and her family (and a lovely flu bug) and now here we are on Valentines' Day smack dab in the middle of the 2010 Winter Olympic games! Since it would take a ridiculous amount of time to go back and write about everything that's happened in the last five months, I've decided to start fresh!

The Olympic Torch passed through Abbotsford on Friday! We went and stood along Old Yale Road and watched it pass by. Jake was pretty excited. We took a few pictures at least, drove around for a bit and followed it through town and went home. Jake drew a picture of the torch for me after. It was very sweet. Bentley has tickets for an olympic hockey game on Tuesday. He'll go to that game and then we'll all go back into the city another day to see what sort of festivities are happening! Bentley was there on Friday already checking things out on opening night and it was pretty busy. It'll be neat to see what's going on there. This doesn't happen very often so we want to try and experience a little of it while we can!

I've been dreading what's going to happen in two weeks. BACK TO WORK. Ugggggghhhhh. I've been getting quite comfortable being a temporary stay-at-home mom. Although I find it hard to be a fun sort of mom and keep Jake busy with activity, I'm slightly looking forward to going back. I'm sure that feeling will pass after a couple of days back at my desk! I had to go and get myself some new clothes for the occasion. It really is the only thing that makes me excited to go back to work. I've practically been living in a red hoody that Bentley bought me for Christmas, so it will be nice to have to look presentable. I really hope Amy is ok at daycare. We did a "test visit" last week and will again this week to see how it goes. Crossing my fingers!
